WWE employees' contracts range from developmental contracts to multi-year deals and they appear as independent contractors. Employees on the main roster appear on specific brands (Raw and SmackDown) for WWE television programming, pay-per-view and at live events while developmental employees appear at Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW).
Employees are generally assigned to a specific brand—either Raw or Smackdown. The WWE Tag Team Champions and the WWE Divas Champion can regularly appear on both Raw and SmackDown as those titles (due to being unified) can be defended on either show.
On August 29, 2011, (kayfabe) COO Triple H announced an initiative where Smackdown wrestlers would be making regular appearances on Raw, and thus all Raw shows would now be "Supershows". Since then, Raw wrestlers have also been making more frequent appearances on Smackdown as well, effectively making both programs full roster "Supershows" for the time being.
WWE Legends are employees/performers not assigned to any particular brand, but make periodic appearances and perform on major shows or are currently involved in a storyline.
WWE refers to its male performers as "Superstars" and its female performers as "Divas". The term "Superstars" is also occasionally used to refer to all WWE performers, regardless of gender. The male wrestlers of the show WWE NXT are called "Rookies".
